'^'"^         PREFACE. 

IN  response  to  a  demand  often  expressed  by  users  of  the 
Shorthand  Dictionary,  it  was  decided  to  add  to  the  words 
it  contained  their  ordinary  meanings,  with  occasional  notes 
concerning  their  origins.  It  was,  in  fact,  impossible  to  resist 
the  argument  that  it  is  vastly  more  convenient  to  use  one  book 
of  reference  than  to  have  to  use  two,  and  accordingly  the  task 
of  making  the  dictionary  complete  and  self-contained  was 
attempted,  and  has,  it  is  hoped,  been  accompUshed  to  the 
edification  of  those  who  may  refer  to  it. 

In  order  to  keep  the  volume  within  reasonable  hmits,  a  great 
degree  of  economy  had  to  be  practised.  Words  have  a  tendency, 
the  result  of  their  handling  sometimes  by  ordinary  folk  and 
sometimes  by  writers,  to  pass  from  their  primary  and  obvious 
meanings  to  metaphorical  senses.  Only  in  a  large  and  compre- 
hensive dictionary  would  it  be  possible  to  follow  every  word 
into  a  variety  of  usages,  and  here  this  has  been  done  sparingly; 
for,  given  one  or  two  of  its  meanings,  anyone  meeting  a  word 
in  a  connection  different  from  its  natural  setting  would  at  once 
perceive  that  metaphor  had  been  at  work  upon  it,  and  be  able 
to  see  how  it  had  acquired  this  further  meaning. 

It  is  very  tempting  klso  to  trace  words  to  their  earliest  dis- 
coverable source,  but  again  that  process  would  result  in  extending 
the  bulk  as  well  as  the  scope  of  the  present  book.  Its  purpose  is 
to  furnish  the  writer  of  shorthand  with  a  ready  means  of  finding 
the  common  and  regular  signification  of  each  word  the  shorthand 
outline  of  which  he  requires  to  learn.  What  such  a  student 
needs  for  his  purpose  is  the  immediate  and  obvious  rather  than 
the  recondite. 

Into  the  making  of  an  English  Dictionary  Dr.  Johnson  intro- 
duced a  delightful  feature,  the  illustration  of  the  meanings  and 
usages  of  words  by  means  of  literary  passages  in  which  they  occur. 
In  a  particular  context,  and  especially  when  placed  there  by  one 
of  the  makers  of  literature,  a  word  is  invested  with  a  new  life  and 
power,  and  it  needs  the  quotation  for  the  lexicographer  adequately  " 
to  convey  the  acquired  meaning.  To  attempt  this  here  was 
also  out  of  the  question,  and  the  modest  rdle  assumed  confines 
the /ambition  of  this  Dictionary  within  the  Umit  of  a  desire  to 
explain  simply  and  usefully  the  words  of  the  vocabulary. 

Subject,  therefore,  to  these  restrictions,  the  work  is  submitted 
to  the  pubUc  of  shorthand  writers  and  students,  in  the  hope 
and  with  the  intention  that  it  may  be  a  real  help  to  them.

INTRODUCTION. 

THE  object  of  the  present  work  is  to  furnish  standard  forms  for 
the  words  of  the  EngUsh  language,  written  in  accordance  with  the 
rules  of  Pitman's  Shorthand  (Centenary  Edition).  Every  writer  of 
the  system  is  aware  that  the  use  of  the  many  regularized  abbreviating 
devices  which  results  in  brief  and  facile  outUnes  being  obtained  for  the 
great  majority  of  words  without  the  help  of  any  arbitrary  abbrevia- 
tion, also  involves,  in  many  instances,  a  choice  between  two  or  more 
possible  forms,  and  the  Shorthand  Dictionary  provides  those  out- 
lines which  experience  has  shown  can  be  recommended  for  general 
adoption.  Hence  the  importance  and  utility  of  the  work  as  a  book  of 
reference  for  teachers,  students,  and  practitioners. 

A  considerable  number  of  words  have  been  added,  including  some  new 
words ;  while,  on  the  other  hand,  many  words  now  obsolete  have 
been  excluded. 

Every  effort  has  been  made  to  render  the  present  edition  of  the 
Dictionary  reliable  and  consistent  in  regard  to  pronunciation  and  the 
selection  of  the  shorthand  forms.  There  will,  no  doubt,  be  differences 
of  opinion  with  regard  to  the  outlines  for  certain  words,  since  a  form 
which  is  the  most  convenient  to  one  writer  is  not  invariably  so  to 
another  writer.  It  is  strongly  recommended,  however,  that  the 
closest  possible  adherence  to  Dictionary  outlines  be  observed,  since 
they  have  been  decided  upon  as  the  result  of  experience  and  the  most 
careful  thought.  No  outline,  therefore,  should  be  rejected  in  favour 
of  another  until  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  ascertain  whether  there 
is  not  some  special  reason  for  its  adoption.  It  is  obvious  that  uni- 
formity of  outline  is  especially  helpful  in  the  case  of  writers  who  have 
to  read  or  transcribe  each  other's  notes. 


Changes  as  regards  Pronunciation. 

With  respect  to  pronunciation,  this  has  been  carefully  checked 
throughout,  A  New  English  Dictionary,  edited  by  Sir  James  A.  H. 
Murray,  LL.D.,  being  taken  as  the  authority  in  practically  all  cases, 
so  far  as  that  work  is  available. 

The  principal  changes,  so  far  as  vowel-sounds  are  concerned,  consist 
of  the  substitution  of — 

(a)  ah  for  d  in  such  words  as  bar,  harm,  embark. 

There  are,  of  course,  many  words  in  which  the  vowel  a  before  r  has 

ix 


X  INTRODUCTION 

a  short   sound;     e.g.,      '    \;       \   globular,     \:      n  pillar.      Compare 
[/'■  tarry  (adjective)  with    l^'  tarry  (verb). 

(b)  aw  for  ah  in  such  words  as  tawnt,  launch,  saunter. 

(c)  u  for  6  when  occurring  medially  in  unaccented  syllables ;  e.g., 
in  custom,   mason,   I^ondon,   monopoly,   gallop. 

A  long  vowel  tends  to  become  short  when  it  is  unaccented,  and  in 
some  words,  such  as  proclaim,  biograph,  the  vowels  o  and  u  are 
practically  indistinguishable.  In  others,  however,  e.g.,  flotation, 
nobility,  the  vowel  is  unmistakably  o  although  unaccented. 

(d)  e  for  a  in  such  words  as  accurate,  breakage,  palace,  chieftam, 
i.e.,  whenever  the  former  represents  the  true  pronunciation. 

Here    again,    the   long   vowel   tends    to   become   short   when   it   is 

unaccented.      Compare   r      lace  with      n/      palace.      In  some  cases, 
however,   including   all   verbs  ending   in    -ate,    the    vowel   a   is  long, 

although   it   may   be  unaccented.     Compare  <v^  moderate  (adjective) 

with  1^  moderate  (verb). 

(e)  i  for  a  in  ^^i   marriage,  ■. — ^1  carriage,  etc. 

(/)  t  for  I  in  words  ending  in  -ization,  e.g.,  realization,  capitalization. 

Preference  is  also  given  in  the  New  English  Dictionary  to  the 
pronunciation  in  in  some  further  adjectives  ending  in  -ine  which  were 
previously  vocalized  with  i,  e.g.,  Florentine,  although  generally  both 
pronunciations  are  given.  In  most  adjectives  ending  in  -He,  however, 
preference  is  given  to  t,  although  in  these  also  both  pronunciations 
are  generally  given. 

(g)  wah  for  waw  in  French  words  containing  oi,  e.g.,  patois,  boudoir. 

(A)  The  stroke  g  is  written  instead  of  k  wherever  the  former  represents 

the  true  pronunciation,  as  in  ~|     exist. 


Note. — In  such  words  as  ranch,  French,  inch,  punch,  with  regard 
to  which  authorities  differ,  ch,  which  is  believed  to  represent  the 
more  usual  pronunciation,  is  retained. 

The  pronunciation  of  French  and  other  foreign  words  hcis  been 
shown  with  greater  precision  than  hitherto. 


SimplUications  as  regards  Vocalization  which  do  not  involve  the 
Alteration  of  any  Rule  in  the  Text-books. 

(1)  Diphthong  u  between  two  Strokes. — The  diphthong  it 
when  occurring  between  two  strokes  is  now  treated  in  the  same 
way    as    a   third-place    vowel ;     i.e.,    it    is    always    written    before 

the  second  of  the  two  strokes  ;    thus,    i    ('  Hercules, (     culinary, 

accurate. 

(2)  Vocalization  in  Derivative  Words. — A  vowel  in  a  derivative 


INTRODUCTION.  Xl 

word,  whether  occurring  in  a  (grammatical)  prefix  or  suffix,  such  as 
re-,  pre-,  -able,  -ance,  or  in  the  portion  representing  the  root  word, 
follows  the  ordinary  rules  as  regards  the  stroke  to  which  it  is  to  be 
placed,  and  if  it  is  immediately  followed  hy  another  vowel,  a  diphone 

is  used  ;    thus,       \      .  prefigure,     ^  measurable,    ^i-^—'^^^unaccented, 

/  re-examine. 

Note.— This  does  not  apply  to  Compound  Words,  or  to  words  like 
A  singer,    /^\  wringer. 

(3)  Third-place  Vowel  occurring  on  same  side  of  Stroke 
AS  shun  Hook. — Any  vowel-  (or  diphthongal-)  sign  other  than  a  dot 

vowel  is  placed  outside  final  shun  hook  ;   thus  Y\  delusion,    \S  fusion, 

/    Vo^  alleviation  (but   \^>  vision).     All  third  place  signs  are  written 

inside  medial  shuyi  hook  ;    thus,  i_^     educational. 

(4)  Vocalization  of  ng. — Outlines  containing  stroke  ng,  when  used 
in  the  representation  of  the  suffix  -ing  are  now  vocalized  in  the 
ordinary  way,  whether  the  vowel  is  a  third-place  vowel  or  otherwise ; 

thus,  r       laying,  ^ — .^  gnawing. 

Changes  Consequent  upon  Alteration  of  Text-book  Rules. 

The  principal  changes  arising  from  the  simplification  of  existing 
rules  and  the  introduction  of  new  rules  in  the  text-books  are  as 
follows — 

A.     As  regards  Vocalization — 

(1)  Second-place  short  vowels  occurring  between  two  strokes  are 
now  placed  after  the  first  stroke  in  the  same  way  as  second-place  long 

vowels ;    thus,  r      mental. 

(2)  The  diphthong  l  is  always  written  in  the  first-place,  and  the 
diphthong  ow  in  the  third-place ;  thus,  V—  time,  v._p  ounce,  except 
in  a  few  cases  when  joined,  as  in  -— v  nigh,  — J^w  ignite,  tf  owl ; 
also  in  words  like  /'\^  radii  and    7'^  Ohio. 

(3)  The  diphthong  u  is  now  joined  finally  after  — ,  — ,  ^-v, 
/^.  or  f  (up),  as  /"^  rescue,  \—^  argue,  ^— >  mew,  /^  imbue, 
V/      value. 

(4)  The  form  of  the  diphthong  oi  has  43een  slightly  modified,  thus, 
■^    instead  of  "^ ,  in  order  to  differentiate  this  sign  from  those  of  the 

series,    now    known    as    "  diphones,"    which    always    represent    two 
separately -sounded  vowels. 

(5)  The  sign  l  has  been  discarded,  except  as  the  logogram  for 
why ;    hence  the  outlines    <^  wife,    <^  wide,     c(  white. 


Xll  INTRODUCTION 

(6)  "  Triphones  "  (formed  by  the  addition  of  a  small  tick  to  the 
diphthong-sign)  are  now  used  to  represent  a  diphthong  followed  by 
any  short  vowel ;    thus,    V     dial,    ^  royal,     y     trowel,    Y~  dual. 

Note. — A  triphone  takes  the  position  of  its  diphthong. 

(7)  The  small  shun  hook  after  a  circle  is  not  vocalized  when  a  second- 
place  vowel  precedes,  a  third-place  vowel  now  being  written  outside 
the  hook  ;    thus,    <j'  cessation,    t  decision. 

(8)  The  small  circle  used  to  represent  a  vowel  occurring  between 
the  two  consonants  expressed  by  a  hooked  form  of  the  pr,  pi  series 
is  now,  except  in  a  few  instances,  written  after  the  double  consonant ; 
thus,  Ut^  atmosphere  :  and  when  the  vowel  B  occurs  between  the 
two  consonants  represented  by  the  hooked  form,  it  is  not  expressed 
even  if  it  is  accented  ;    thus,    l^--^_p  terminus. 

(9)  joined  to  downward  /  in  the  proper  names    /^  William, 

L-^  Wilkins,  etc.,  is  now  taken  to  represent  wi. 

(10)  The  signs  of  the  ah-i  series,  now  known  as  "  diphones,"  are  used 
to  represent  any  two  consecutive  vowels,  without  regard  to  accentua- 
tion ;  thus,  w  real,  /  ' "  reality,  ''^sr-v*  museum,  c^ — ^.^-—^  cranium, 
Kj     folio,   /^  re-echo. 

B.     As  r^ards  Outlines — ■ 

(1)  In  writing  n  s  m  the  circle  s  is  now  placed  inside  the  m  in  the 
following  cases — 

(a)  In  DERIVATIVES  and  compounds  from  words  in  which  the  circle 
is  written  inside  the  m ;  e.g.,  vLo— y  unseemly,  vix<j~>  unsummoned, 
L_y-^  tinsmith  (compare  ^-^t^^  newsmonger) ;  also  in  the  word 
■   v_jcj— -~_^  insomnia. 

(6)  In  words  containing  the  syllable  -some,  e.g.,  y-<s~^  noisome, 
N-oN  handsome. 

Note. — It  will  be  found  that,  with  only  two  or  three  exceptions,  e.g., 
' — -J^-j  mincemeat,  Norseman,    and    «5+j>cs  nursemaid,  the  form 

^—er-N  is  used  for  n  s  m  and  the  form  n,.j>-n  for  n  z  m,  most  of  the 
examples  of  the  latter  being  words  ending  in  -ism,  e.g.,  O?-^  communism, 
^v.^,jt-v    galvanism. 

(2)  \  is  now  used,  instead  of    n^,  as  under — 


INTRODUCTION  xlfi 

(a)  When  not  joined  to  another  stroke,  if  there  is  no  preceding 
vowel,  as      A  flow,     \  fleece,    ^  flat,    ^  flaunt,  ^^\    Flanders. 

(b)  In  derivatives  and  compounds  from  the  words  referred  to  in 
(a),  provided  a  convenient  outline  is  so  obtained,  as  V  fleecer, 
'\^  flaunting,    ^-\^  flyer,       \]  fluttered,    ^    flatly. 

(c)  Before  —     —    ^-^    ^^    -^^    /  as   in       Y flake,     \_  flog, 

^--^  flame,        \/  flurry,      \  Fletcher. 

Note. — Subject  to  the  above,  preference  is  still  given  to  the 
"  left  "  form  V_  ;  thus,  n-i^-^  flicker,  ^  flavour,  ^  flail,  V_y  flesh, 
V.    flabby. 

(3)  Shr  is  now  written  upward  when  following  /,  v,  n  or  ng,  as  in 
S^y  fissure,    /:   S=/   lavisher,        \^j<y   extinguisher. 

(4)  Stroke  n-s  is  used  in  all  cases  for  final  -nee  or  -nse  (=  ms)  after 
a  curve ;    thus,    vb         silence,    /-vf.        ambulance. 

(5)  A  few  words  ending  in  -uation  in  which  there  would  be  some 
difficulty  in  writing  separate  sh  hooked  for  n  are  now  written  with  the 

shun  hook  (the  diphthong  and  vowel  being  omitted) ;  e.g. ,  \^  punctuation, 
fluctuation. 

(6)  The  forms    )  and    )  are  used  only  in  such  words  as    )•  Hesse, 

y  hazy,  in  which  the  s  or  «  is  followed  by  a  final  vowel ;    hiss,  haze, 
haziness,  hasten,  hasty,  etc.,  are,  therefore,  written  with  upward  stroke 

h;  thus,    d^'    <f^    /~^    /^    erf 

(7)  The  use  of  tick  h  before  /  is  discontinued  ;  hence  <y)  heather, 
a-l^   hitherto. 

(8)  Initial  r  is  written  downward  before  m  or  mp  ;  thus,      ^r^.  remit, 
remittance,     V-s  romp. 

(9)  Upward  /  is  used  instead  of  the  downward  in  such  words  as 

K    trial,    y"  dual,    r       toivel,  the  diphthong  and  vowel  now  being 
represented  by  one  sign.     See  No.  A  (6)  above. 

(10)  A  stroke  having  a  finally-joined  diphthong  may  be  halved  for 
t  or  d :   thus,    ^  proud,    Va   bout. 

Note. — This  nile  does  not  hold  good  where  it  is  necessary  to  have 
a  distinction,  as  in  V  Bude,  but  >|  Bute.  Par.  141  (c)  in  the 
Instructor  should  be  borne  in  mind  in  this  connection. 


XlV  INTRODUCTION 

(11)  In  addition  to   the   words    \ :  picture,     bv,..j_^  adventure, 

etc.,  in  which  -ture  was  previously  expressed  by  doubling,  other 
common  words  ending  in  -ture  axe  now  written  with  double-length 
strokes,  provided  the  resulting  outlines  are  not  such  as  would  be  con- 
fused with   those  of   words   ending  in   -tor :    thus      l. structure, 

\ fracture,    ^~_^  nature. 

(12)  F,  sh,  m  and  n  may  now  be  doubled  to  express  the  addition  of 
tr,  dr  or  thr  without  any  restriction,  except  in  proper  names  ;    thus, 

^* —  fodder,    — '\    shudder,    < — x  madder,    ^ -j  kneader. 

{V3)  A  straight  stroke  may  now  be  doubled  to  add  tr  or  dr  when  it 
has  an  initial  circle,  as  in      >.      sceptre,  scatter,  or  a  finally- 

joined  diphthong,  as  in     \       prouder,      |    tutor. 

(14)  rf-v  and  s^  may  be  doubled  to  express  the  addition  of  -r  ; 
thus,     ^         slumberer,    f  lingerer. 

(15)  Stroke  <^  is  now  used  whenever  convenient  in  words  begin- 
ning   with    the    sound    of    « ;     thus,    <^    ^    Europe,    oXi     utilize, 

^   '  eulogy,    6^      unique. 

(16)  The  sign  ^  is  used  in  words  beginning  with  wor-  followed 
by  m,  i.e.,  in       v— >  warm,        \^  warmth,  etc, 

(17)  Stroke  ^  is  used  instead  of  dot  -ing  after  — ,  — ,  /» 
v_ .  v_  and  ^ ;  thus,  ^-r> — .^  making,  I  .  .  digging,  ^'X^  raging, 
C  V»_>  laughing,    ^i  v^  solving,      v"^"^  halting. 

(18)  Disjoined  I  is  used  to  represent  the  termination  -lousness 
as  well  as  -lessness  :   thus,     \/i      perilousness,    h/°  sedulousness. 

(19)  Disjoined  /  is  used  to  represent  the  terminations  -logical 
and  -logically  :    thus,    '1-7-^/  etymological-ly ,    \ — ^_^/  terminological. 

(20)  The  disjoined  circle  used  to  represent  the  suffix  -self  is  dis- 
continued, and  oneself  is  now  included  in  the  list  of  Contractions. 

(21)  With  reference  to  paragraph  188  (1)  of  the  Instructor,  n  is  now 
omitted — 

(a)  In    words    ending    in    -gency    (except    0\  agency) ;  thus, 

pungency  :    and 


INTRODUCTION  XV 

(b)  In  a  further  few  words  ending  in  -nger ;    viz.,       \^    harbinger, 

~~K  exchanger,      /    ginger,  in  addition  to  those  given  in  the  Lists  of 
Contractions  (U  danger,  \  stranger,  ^  passenger  and      /  messenger). 

Other  Changes*    Outlines  Harmonized. 

With  respect  to  other  alterations  in  outlines,  many  groups  of  more 
or  less  similar  words  have  been  considered  with  a  view  to  their  being 
treated  uniformly  so  far  as  is  practicable,  and  various  changes  have 
been  necessary  in  order  to  bring  the  outlines  of  such  words  into 
harmony.  The  following  classes  of  words  are  mentioned  for  the  purpose 
of  furnishing  an  explanation  of  some  of  the  changes  referred  to,  and  at 
the  same  time  showing  the  general  practice  which  has  been  followed 
in  each  class  of  words. 

S,  Z  (Circle  and  Stroke). 

(1)  Words  ending  in  -nese  and  -nize,  most  of  which  are  Derivatives, 
are  written  with  stroke  n  and  circle  s  (z)  whenever  convenient ;    thus, 

/       Japanese,    -.^r-y^'    v      Americanize,    a-<Lp  humanize. 

(2)  Words  ending  in  -nism  are  written  with  v^j>-^  unless  a  better 
outline  is  obtained  by  writing  hook  n  and  X^  The  latter  is  found 
to  be  the  more  convenient  form  after  \  \  —  [but  not  <= —  or 
(  J  —  ^^  o^  ^—^  I  \  Examples :  \/.L_>-^  Puritanism, 
^  •LiSr~~^  religionism :  but  <^lr  Utopianism,  ^^Anglicanism, 
\— 3     paganism.                           .|_^ 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -ess.  All  words  (feminines)  ending  in  -ess 
cannot  conveniently  be  treated  uniformly,  but  the  following  shows 
the  practice  which  has  been  followed — 

(a)  In  words  ending  with  the  syllable  -ess,  stroke  s  is  used  if  neces- 
sary for  the  purpose  of  distinguishing  the  feminine  singular  from  the 
masculine  plural  when  no  other  means  of  distinction  is  available  ; 

thus,  ^  poetess,  {\   poets),     \  heiress  (     d  heirs). 


ip)  With  regard  to  those  words  ending  in  -eress,  -oress,  -dess,  -n(t)ess 
or   -fess  in   which   alternative  methods   of   distinction   are  available, 

stroke  s  is   used    after    //111    <= —    — r^a   -=    ^*  or  / ;    thus, 


\\  archeress,       '/manageress,  k  tutoress,      [-murderess,  ^^=-=-\ 


mcaress.

1—3  deaconess,     )  countess,  ^  championess,  k  chiefess  :    but  in  other 

7  y  IV  '/  /vN 

cases    the    circle    is    written,    e.g.,    ^~^  viscountess,    C,   giantess. 
/vv   '    lioness,    NA^  baroness,  /y^  mayoress. 

(c)  In  words  ending  in  -ress  immediately  preceded  by  a  consonant, 
the  final  s  sound  is  always  represented  by  the  circle  ;  thus,  t  actress, 
t^h  waitress. 

(4)  Words  ending  in  -zoon  are  written  with  stroke  z :  thus, 
^.epizoon,  V -c)^  polyzoon  (plural  \/  ./''  polyzoa)  ;  but  adjectives 
ending  in  -zoic  have  the  circle  ;  thus,    V         paleozoic,      \_    protozoic. 

(5)  Derivatives  from  words  with  outlines  containing  stroke  s. 
(See  also  paragraph  70  (a)  of  the  Instructor  and  No.  (2)  below.) 

Derivatives  formed  by  adding  a  suffix  beginning  with  a  vowel  to  a 
primitive  word  ending  with  s  or  ^  and  a  vowel  retain  stroke  s  or  z  ; 
thus,  <^  cosier,  '  1  lazier,  X/^  pursuance,  [  Sadducean, 
\      Puseytsm,   I   g^  laziest,     \  busiest. 

Compare — (a)  Secondary  derivatives,  such  as  \  spiciest,  d  sauciest, 
c— 6    glossier,  the  primitives  of  which  axe  written  with  circle  s  ;   and 

{p)  Derivatives  in  which  the  suffix  does  not  commence  with  a  vowel ; 
e.g..    \tj>  drowsiness,   ^  ,  ensued,  \^  busily. 

S  (Stroke  and  Circle)  ;  ST  ([  and  Loop). 

(1)  Initial  s  or  st  followed  by  a  diphone  is  written  as  follows — 

(a)  With  stroke  s  or  f  in  derivatives  such  as  1  sower,  1  seer, 
[!:     stayer,      r  stowage.  ^ 

(6)  With  the  circle  or  loop  in  other  words,  such  as  ''x  sahib, 
9^  stance,  ci^f.  sienna,  =^  stoic,  <^  Styrian. 

Initial  s  or  st  followed  by  a  triphone  is  written  with  stroke  s  or  f  ; 
thus,  ]_^  Siam,      )   suet,    [jr  Stuart,    L  steward,   y~  Stowell. 

(2)  While  words  ending  in  -ous  preceded  by  a  diphthong  are  written 
with  stroke  s  in  accordance  with  paragraph  70  (d)  of  the  Instructor, 
their  derivatives  ending  in  -uously,  -uousness  and  -uosity  are  generally 

written  with  the  circle ;  thus  \_fi  strenuously,  v/^    ]      voluptuousness, 
n. K  Kfi

impetuosity. 


INTRODUCTION 


The  following,  however,  are  cases  in  which  the  stroke  is  retained  for 
the  purpose  of  distinction —  ^^  pioiisly,   (^joyously,  /   joyousness, 

ingenuously,  fi^       ingenuousness,  l^^        tenuously, 

tenuousness,       J   sinuosity. 
(2a)  In  other  words  containing  s,  z  or  st  preceded  by  a  triphone 
or  by  a  diphone,  the  circle  or  loop  is  used  ;   e.g.,     >o  bias,     x.  biased, 
V^  quiesce,  '^^—f.  acquiesce,   Q_p  Genoese,   <?*  essayist,     h^  truest,  l)^  deist, 
C   Judaism,     j^  statuesque.      The  following  are  exceptions  to  this — 

\  prowess,   r  dais,        )  chaos,    ^~^  newest,   {^-^  next). 
M  ') 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -astic  or  -istic  are  written  as  follows — 

(a)  With  st  loop  after  t,  d,  j  or  /  ;  thus,  '^(ST"  artistic,  BT"'  deisiic, 
it-     logistic,   (         elastic. 

(6)  With  I  in  other  cases ;   thus,  t>«'    theistic,  r^'    sophistic. 

(4)  I  is  retained  in  derivatives  from  words  with  outlines  con- 
taining I  ,  except  the  monosyllabic  past  tenses  *(  stayed,  J  stewed,  etc. ; 
thus,      R  stowage,  b"     dustiness,    </    majestic. 

ST  (Loop  and  )  ST). 

Words  ending  in  -nest,  -nist ;  -jest,  -vest,  -vist ;  -test,  -tist,  -dest, 
etc.,  are  written   with  the  st  loop   unless  a  distinctly   better    outline 

is  obtained  by  means  of  the  stroke  ;   thus,  - — ^  keenest,  e— O  greenest, 

\ — ^  organist,    \     briefest,   \      bravest,  V,_-  faintest,  ^-^^  fondest,

SST      (     9  .      }       AND      P    ). 

Words   ending  in  -cest,    -cist   and    -sest   are   generally  written  with 
^  ;    thus,   ^--s   fiercest,    X  ^  publicist ;   but  }  is  more  convenient 

after   -^-^    n  or    ^-^    r,  as  in    ^  S  nicest,    ,></•<).  empiricist ;    and   \     is 
used  in      s^  biblicist.     Y  is  also  used  in  verbs  ending  in  -sist,  e.g., 
Xs   subsist,     p    desist.

Xviii  INTRODUCTION 

SS,  SZ  (Large  Circle,   )    )  and    j). 

(1)  Words  ending  in  -sis  and  -sus  axe  written  with  the  large  circle  ; 
thus,  Ng  basis,    °  Q  narcissus. 

(2)  Words  ending  with  the  sound  of  sSs  or  zes,  or  with  s  -  —  sepa- 
rated by  a  diphthong  or  a  diphone  (including  words  ending  in  -cess, 
-cize  and  -size),  are  generally  written  with   ^  or   j  ;    thus,        V  access, 

\  capsize,  i^  gaseous ;  but  after  (,  >  v^_^  or  .^^,  J  aftords  a 
better  joining,  e.g.,  '  L  Gothicize,  \_^  princess,  ^^^J.  recess, 
-^d    exorcize.     The  common  words    olD  success,    ^tt      exercise  and 

^  emphasize,  are,  however,  written  with  the  large  circle. 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -cism  are  generally  written  with  the  large 
circle ;  thus,  ^:^--i    fanaticism,  . i        Gallicism ;  but  after  \  th,  > n 

or  -^  r  J-^  gives  more  convenient  and  distinctive  outlines  ;  thus, 
(  Gothicism,  J~^  cynicism,  C '  -dh^  laconicism,  _u^^  exorcism, 
""^  K-<)^  Doricism. 

Hooked  Stroke  and  Separate  R  or  L. 

(1)  Words  ending  in  -metry  and  -metric  are  written  with  separate  r 
whenever  practicable ;  thus,  1^4/  geometry,  v-v/^  barometric, 
but     V,^  planimetry. 

(2)  Words  ending  in  -able  or  -ible  are  generally  written  with  the 

hooked   stroke    N  ;     thus,    '^.       obtainable,     ^   measurable.      The 

separate   strokes    N/   ,  however,  are  used  when  a  better  outline  is 
thus  obtained  ;    e.g. — 

(a)  After  — o>  _d>  •-—!>>  ^  or  after  a  circle  following  a  "right  " 
curve    (but    not    after     Vo     or     vd  )  ;      thus,  "\j      excusable, 

^"^-vjQ^    invincible,       ^^^^t/        reversible,       ^^  ^    forcible     (but 

Va    feasitfle). 


INTRODUCTION 


(6)  After    |\    or   /  ;     thus,   ov^  contestable,      J  digestible. 

(c)  After       >>  I        0     or    a    dovmstroke     hooked     for    v :      thus, 
Si^  explainable,    a<  discernible,      ^\/^  provable. 

(d)  After  a  half-length  stroke  hooked  for  n  ;  thus,  \^^  accountable, 
C    ><      lamentable. 

{e)  After  a  shun  hook  ;    thus,        x/^  actionable    (but  •t-._:2\   men- 

tionable) . 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -tal  or  -dal  preceded  by  --^  r  axe  written 
with  separate  I :  thus,  %^K  parietal,  V/Zf  spheroidal.  Coni- 
pare  the  verbs  <\  rattle,  ^  \  riddle.  A  number  of  words  ending  in 
-tal  preceded  by  n  are  also  written  with  separate  /  ;  e.g.,  y^  mental, 
<iCi     horizontal.     Compare  the  verb  1   mantle. 

(4)  Words  ending  in  -/u/  and  -jully  are  written  with  separate  /  in 
cases  where  a  distinction  between  the  adjective  and  the  adverb  can 
easily  be  shown  by  means  of  the  downward  and  the  upward  /  respec- 
tively ;   e.g.,  after  — ,  — ,  ^ — ■,  >w,  upward  /  or  a  straight  upstroke  ; 

thus,        V_  wakeful,         \/     wakefully,  y  manful,    n  V  lawful. 


^ 


sorrowful.    In  other  words,  including  verbs,  fl  and  vl  occurring  after 
the  strokes  mentioned   above  are  represented    by  the   hooked   forms 
\       >  ;    thus,       '     1  scuffle,    Z"*"^  A  level,    /\r    ^  upheaval. 

(5)  Words  ending  in  -ively  preceded  by  '^~o,    "-t  or  ■       are  written 
with        )  ;    thus,  A.  massively,     yt    \     delusively. 

(6)  Words  beginning  with  unr-,  enr-,  unl-,  enl-.     Words  formed  by 
a  prefix  from  words  beginning  with  r  or  /  retain  the  separate  r  or  /  ; 

thus,       vj/^    unrest,       -~i,y^^^^      unreasoning,       vj_X        unleavened. 

6.     enlist. 

(7)  Words  ending  in  -ary,  -ery,  -ory,  etc.,  are  treated  as  follows — 

(a)  The  hooked  strokes  are  used  when  they  give  a  more  easily  written 
outline    than    the    sej^arate    r:     thus,      k     drapery.     x^~^  rookery, 

treasury. 

(b)  The   hooked    strokes   are  retained  in  adjectives   derived   from 

words  written  with  a  final  hooked  stroke,  such  as  k  tottery,  £    \  silvery, 

i  '• 

*>-    savoury.

•p 

(c)  In  other  cases  the  separate  r  or  /  is  written  ;    thus,  statutory, 

VI'  /•  "1^' 

]/    notary. 

(8)  Derivatives  ending  in  -ally  and  -alize  from  words  written 
with  a  final  hooked  stroke  retain  the  hooked  form  ;  thus,  *^  brutally, 
%,  brutalize,    r''  locally. 

(9)  Derivatives  from  words  written  with  hooked  forms  of  the 
•pr,  pi  series  are  generally  also  written  with  the  hooked  forms  if  practic- 
able, even  if  the  r  or  /  is  no  longer  in  the  same  syllable  as  the  preceding 

consonant ;    thus,  J     ,  tippler,    *^-<>      trampling,    J"  doubly.     Compare 

such  words  as  .V^^  seedling,  \~  (^~^  duckling,  which  are  not  so 
derived. 

(10)  In  Compound  Words,  when  the  second  part  of  the  compound 
begins  with  r  or  I,  that  r  or  /  is  not  combined  with  the  last  letter 

of    the    first    part ;     hence,     T    y^  typewriter,      T  typewritten, 

\_/''     »  bricklayer,    v_, — >'     necklace. 

(11)  In  the  case  of  verbs  the  hooked  forms  are  generally  preferred 
so  as  to  enable  past  tenses  to  be  written  on  the  same  principle ;   thus, 

I*  bridle,    \  bridled  (compare   ''^      bridal),   *  |   model,  '   ^  modelled. 

Duplicate  Forms. — Cases  where  Joined  to  Another  Stroke. 

(1)  In    Derivatives    and    Compounds    from    words    written    with 

^  ^  V.  1.  etc.,  the  form  of  fr,  ft,  vr  or  vl  used  in  the  primitive 
should,  when  convenient,  also  be  used  in  the  derivative  or  compound, 
without    regard    to    the    practice    adopted    in    other    words ;     thus, 

\_p    freeness    (compare       'V.^p    furnace),       ^--~.     offerer    (compare 
\^  friar),  ^\^  flyer  (compare  ^--^  flower),   \N\  hop-fly  (compare 

<^^^    hopeful). 
Subject  to  the  above: — 

(2)  The  "  left  "  curves  v_  V.  are  used  if  more  convenient  for 
joining  than   the    "  right "   curves,    as   in    J  ~  tougher,    '\j  leverage, 

V.    effervesce,    °^s    survivor.    V.   froth,    v,       usufruct,    ^~v^  friable. 


N-      freckle,    ^^^ —  frank.

(3)  In  other  cases  the  "  right  "  curves  \  A  are  generally  used, 
as       V'    verbose,       \ — ■■  Africa,        j  fresh,       V-^  frame. 

(4)  As  regards  thr  and  THr,  (  (  are  used  initally  when  preceded 
by  a  vowel  (i.e.,  as  when  standing  alone) ;  thus,  V>  Atherston, 
\f    Atherley,    \^  otherwise. 

(5)  In  other  cases  the  "  right  "  curves  /  /  are  used,  as  /  thread, 
)    thrive,    \J  thrash,     J    throttle,     K  tether,      X    zither,     \   Arthur. 

(6)  Preference  is  given  to  the  "  left "  curves  V_  v.  ;  thus, 
V.      flabby,      Vq flask,      V_y    flash,      ^^  baffle,       ^A    shovel, 

V_  muffle. 

(7)  The  "  left  "  curve  (.  is  used  initially,  and  the  "  right  "  curve 
)  after ' another  stroke;    thus,    S      athletic,   \/\  Ethelred,    v\  Bethel, 

CT^   bismuthal. 

N  (Stroke  and  Hook). 

(1)  Words  ending  in  -nian  are  generally  written  with  the  hook  for 
the  final  n,  even  in  the  case  of  derivatives  from  words  with  outlines 
ending  with  hook  n  ;  thus,  .IVj.  Etonian,  -^--J  C^  Hamiltonian,  but 
note    ^^   Gladstonian,    TL*    Augustinian,      t>_i»    Athenian, 

(2)  Words  ending  in  -n  nt  are  generally  written  with  hook  n  finally  ; 
thus,  V  anent,  2S>  assonant,  lai?  dissonant.  Final  -n  nt  preceded  by 
p,  stroke  /  or  v,  or  m  is,  however,  written  with  stroke  nt  finally  ;  thus, 
\y  pennant,  Ji,  tenant,  V4>J>  convenient,  I— ^^.j^-'  dominant,  as  are  also 
the  words  'slys^  consonant  and  jaj.^^  sonant. 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -t  n  or  -d  n  are  generally  written  with  the 
hook  for  the  final  «  ;   thus,   ^  fatten,   (/.]■  wheaten,      p  abandon. 

(4)  The  final  n  is,  however,  represented  by  the  stroke  in  the  following 
cases — 

(a)   Words  ending  in  -rt  n  or  -;  st  n,  e.g.,\/<-^  Spartan,  f~>''^~>  martin, 

ff-^  congestion.     Compare  \<J  puritan,    \^"  baritone. 


INTRODUCTION 


(6)  Most  words  ending  in  -ntine,  e.g.,  "t        turpentine,  and  also — 

(c)  The     words     ^^.j-^    fountain,       ^,^1^    mountain,     ^-^    plantain, 
\J>   pontoon,  and    '^;^^  bounden. 

N  Preceded  by  Two  Vowel-Sounds. 

Stroke  n  is  used — (a)  After  a  Triphone  consisting  of  «  and  a  vowel ; 

thus,  c>-^  genuine,  {j^  constituent,  \/lsf  pursuant.    Compare  /V\   lion, 

^    client,     >)  compliance,    ^  fcMoyawcy,  in  which  the  «  is  preceded  by 
other  triphones.  1 

(fe)  After  two  separate  vowel-signs ;    thus,     Ljj  triune. 

(c)  In  the  words   V-vn  pioneer,  L>  giawi,  '^^_-,  buoyant,  <f         heroine, 

^^   ruin,   and    several   words   ending   in  fluent,    e.g.,     V^^  fluent. 


mellifluent.     Compare  other  words  in  which  n  occurs  after  a 
diphone,  e.g.,  =2=  crayon,  —^  cayenne,  i^J^  hygiene. 

Medial  N. 

(1)  In  the  absence  of  any  special  reason  to  the  contrary,  stioke  n 
is  used  between  p,  b,  t,  d,  ch  or  /  and  full-length  t  ox  d ;  thus, 
\^y|^   pantaloon,        vJl     bountiful,      L_^yo  tantalize,      lL-i>-  dental, 

'li^..  legendary. 

(2)  But  the  hook  is  used  between  the  same  strokes  and  half-length 
t  or    d,   unless   the   n  is   followed   by   a   vowel ;    thus,    ^   painted, 

J      daunted,         J    enchanted,        J      jointed,    but       ^-r:]     penitent, 
"^•'^O,  originated. 

(3)  Hook   n  is   used   between    --^  r  and    ^--'  n  in  such  words  as 
v^  ■     barrenness,  <^  •     modernness,  but  stroke  n  is  more  convenient 

between    o^  sf    or    c^  w    and     -^-^  « ;     thus,     0/  sereneness, 

(T^  '    oneness.     SimiUarly  -^^^  roundness,  but  c/'^'''^  windiness. 

(4)  Stroke  n  is  generally  retained  in  derivatives  from  words 
written  with  the  stroke,  other  than  those  ending  in  -ic  or  -cy  ; 
thus,  ^v^^  funnier,  Vik^  puniness ;  but  ^  >=— ^  euphonic, 
^o  Vi"  subservieru^y.

Medial  NS. 

(5)  Stroke  «  is  used  medially  before  s  or  f,  unless  the  hook  is 
clearly   more  convenient;      thus,    </•    r  Wednesday,    c/^^^  wainscot, 

A^^jy^  caravansary,  but  ./^^~^  ransom,    A       lonesome,     ^^  Ironside. 

(6)  Two  hooks  together  are  generally  avoided  ;   hence    v-^  plunger, 

A    I  ranger.     They  are,  however,  allowed  in  the  words      1-    kindred, 
/  manger,   and   one  or   two  uncommon  words,  as  well  as  certain 
compound  words. 

(7)  In  Compound  words  hook  n  is  often  retained  medially,  even 
where  it  would  be  avoided  in  other  words ;   e.g.,  'V-^  open-mouthed, 

Y-->  penman,  ^r>-^  mainmast,   X  n/  rainproof,  ^t-r      earthenware. 

F,    V  (Hook  and  Stroke). 

(1)  Words  ending  in  -tive  (other  than  those  which  are  contracted) 
are  generally  written  with  \,  ;  thus,  y^\  receptive,  'k.  inventive. 
Exceptions  to  the  above  are  ''  ^  captive,  ^  plaintive,  and  such 
words  as  H-     attentive  and     J    digestive. 

(2)  The  stroke  is  used  for  /  or  t;  occurring  between  p  ox  b  (without 
an  initial  attachment)  and  t  ov  d ;    thus,    \,  pivot,  ^^^  buffet.     After 

N  or    N ,  however,  the  hook  is  more  convenient ;    thus,    \  private, 
N   brevity. 

(3)  Hook  /  or  «  is  used  between  t,  d  or  ch  and  t  or  dia  derivatives 
as  well  as  other  words  ;  thus,  ^\i  sanctified,  u  Cheviot.  Note — - 
L     defied,  \^    edified,  L     deified,  for  distinction. 

The  Aspirate. 

(1)  Tick  h  attached  to  half-length  stroke  st,  is  used  in  the  following 
words —  )X'  history,   V^       histrionic,  l^htistings,  \j?  Hastings. 

(2)  Downward  h  is  used  in  a  few  cases  to  create  a  clear  distinction 
of    outline,    as      /^     heritor     (  ■h'^a     inheritor),     /L^      heritable 


INTRODUCTION 


(3-*^^     inheritable),  or  to  provide  a  more  easily    written    form,    as 

«r  heritage. 

(3)  Words  beginning  with  hetero-  axe  written  with  ^  except 
before     —     ^-^     or      1      ,     when      |     is     more     convenient ;     thus 

?>X_4.    heterogeneous,     XI  n     heterodox ;       but      "I ^     heterogamous, 

•l^.yVo  heteromorphous,    Y^l.    heterology. 

(4)  Compound  words  ending  in  -house  are  written  as  under — 
(a)   With  <r     if  convenient  for  joining,  i.e.,  after  />,  6,  /,  d,  f  or  a 

straight     upstroke ;       thus,     tyP     chop-house,       ^\j       club-house, 
\i    gate-house,        vj^  coffee-house,  c^i^    warehouse,  <£f      hothouse. 

,  (6)  With  /  after  k,  g,  m  or  I ;  thus,      l_j)  workhouse,  (^    l^  loghouse, 
^£^  summer-house,  CZ^  alehouse. 

(c)  With  stroke  s    when    neither    cT^    nor    /    will  join    well,    i.e., 
after  s,  sA,  n,  ng,  #  circle  or  a  hook ;  also  after  ch,  in  which  case 
stroke  s  is   particularly   facile ;    thus,      .jj  alms-house,      }     ice-house, 
Y  wash-house,    \    pigeon-house,      /  coach-house. 

Upward  and  Downward  R  and  L. 

(1)  Words  beginning  with  st  {vowel)  r  followed  by  stroke  n 
have  upward  r ;  thus,  .</  '  consternation,  <^c\j  sternutation, 
^^~X^^^'   Stornoway. 

(2)  Final  r  is  written  upward  (among  other  cases)  after  kr,  gr  or  Ik  ; 


thus,  c — ^   cn'cr,  c:; —    grower,  (^  luckier  :    but  downward  after  5* 

or  fk  :   thus,     o     N|  obscure,  V —     fakir. 

(3)  Final  r  in  compounds,  as  in  other  words,  is  written 
upward  after  two  downstrokes ;  thus,  I  r,  f>  tax-gatherer, 
<^«    shooting-star. 

(4)  In  words  ending  in  -rest,  -rist,  -lest  or  -list  the  r  or  /  is  written 
upward  or  downward  as  when  followed  by  a  final  vowel ;  thus, 
Ny/^  barest,    \^  fairest,    \f     fullest,      4    annalist. 


INTRODUCTION 


(5)  Medial  r  is  nearly  always  written  downward  before  m  :    thus, 

\        barium,      'X-t  emporium,    ^—^      forum.     After  th,  however, 
it  is  written  upward ;    thus,  U<^  theorem. 

(6)  Medial  r  is  also  written  downward  in  most  derivatives  from 
words  written  with  downward  r ;  thus,  J  declarable,        /Si    powerful. 


-^^''"'  barely,  ^^  h  furrier,  ^y  maturely  :  but  in  words  ending 
in  -rial,  -ral  or  -rhal  upward  r  is  used ;  thus,  »T^  armorial, 
/-jrvf  mayoral,         \/\     catarrhal. 

(7)  Final'  /   after    \        \       or  t~   is   written    as   after  a ;     thus, 

^jrr  egotistical,       (-      methodistical,    (*fl; /   logistical. 

(8)  L  occurring  finally,  or  with  only  a  circle  or  loop  following,  is 
written  downward  after  a  half-length  or  double-length  stroke  if  a  more 
convenient  outline  is  so  obtained  ;  thus,  '5^.  completely,  ^Z"  shiftless, 
^v  vividly,    y^    wildly.     \ — -^  pectoral. 

(9)  Final  /  is  written  downward  in  compounds  of  words  written 
with  upward  /  if  the  upward  form  would  be  quite  inconvenient  for 

joining,    as   in    ./      sand-eel,     O   train-oil,    but   the   upward   form  is 

retained  if  at  all  practicable,  as  in   \J      port-hole,   L  i      stock-list. 

(10)  Medial  I  is  written  upward  in  > "  biliousness  and 
^  '  superciliousness,  but  downward  in  words  ending  in  -lescence  or 
-lescent ;   e.g.,  y-    opalescence,  ^  coalescent.    It  is  also  written  upward 

before   <s~n    whenever   practicable ;    thus,     /         realism,    /-^^/ 
imperialism,  but   /-^  sensationalism,         J^  naturalism. 

Upward  and  Downward  SH. 

(1)  Final   sh  is  written  downward  after  t  or  st :    thus.    '   j  latish, 
I  coquettish,      1  moustache.      Exception —    >    „  brutish. 

(2)  Final  sh  s  is  written  upward  after  t,  but  downward  after  st; 
thus,  ^-^ — j  .„  fictitious,  but    '¥  superstitious. 


XXvl  INTRODUCTION 

(3)  The  words  \y  mopish  and  "  \y  tnobbish  are  written  with 
upward  sh  on  the  same  principle  as     V/   brush. 

(4)  Final  sh  after  I  is  written  downward,  except  in  verbs  in  which 
the  /  is  preceded  by  another  consonant ;  thus,  ^  J  milifiu,  ^l  J  palish, 
(•_J  lash,  but  \/'       polish,  C        slash. 

(5)  Final  sh  s  is  written  downward  after  I ;  thus  r^\  delicious, 
btj'    silicious. 

Compound  Consonants. 

(1)  Wl  and  whl  in  derivatives. 

(a)  The  compound  consonant  u      or  C     is  retained  in  the  deriva- 
tives (past  tenses,  etc.),  o   I  wailed,  'C^  I  wallowed,   (j  \  wheeled,  etc. 
(fc)   Primitive    words    containing    the    consonants    wld    are    written 

with   t-^^  ;    thus,    o^   wild,   <y^  weld,    c/^  weald :    although  in  some 
derivatives   from   these   words   the   compound    consonant    is    again 

employed,  e.g.,  mC       wilder,    vo  t  wildest,  L      welded,  u  d  wealden. 

(2)  iff.     The  compound  consonant      A  is  not  used  after  ;      / ;  hence 
cellarer. 


(3)  Kw  and  mp,  mb  in  Compound  words.  A  consonant  at  the 
end  of  the  first  part  of  a  compound  word  is  not  combined  with  a 
consonant  beginning  the  second  part ;  hence  b^V_^  silk-worm, 
dumb-bell,    l'-^    tomboy.     An  exception  to  this   is   the   word 

lukewarm. 
Halving  Principle. 

(1)  A  stroke  is  not  halved  when  a  better  outline  is  obtained    bj 
means  of  the  full  t  or  d;   thus,  Ql   .  flotilla,        r7  indulge,       \^  integer 

{^^    interior. 

(2)  Words  ending  in  -tatory,  -datory,   -ditary,   etc.,  are  treated  as 
follows — 

(a)  In   the  case  of  the  termination  -tatory  the  last  /  is  generally 
written  in  full ;    thus,   XF      rotatory,  ~\,  excitatory,    b  j      saltatory 


INTRODUCTION  XXVii 

(6)   When  the  termination  is  -datory,  the  halving  principle  is  generally 
applied;    thus,   d^         hereditary,  ^C       consolidatory . 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -lively  following  stroke  t  or  tr  are  written  with 
full   t :    thus,    vl      authoritatively,    n       illustratively. 


(4)  Words   ending  in   -ctary,   -ctory,   -catory,   -gatory,   -ctarian,   etc., 

are  generally  written  with  full  /  ;  thus,   t_i     directory,  1 Tractarian. 

A  better  outline,  however,  is  obtained  by  halving  in  such  words  as 


secretary,  ,q-~rr      mxgratory. 

(5)  Words  ending  in  -taceous,  -titious  and  -dacious  are  written  with 
full  t  or  d  ;    thus,       |x  cretaceous,  L*-<  mendacious. 

(6)  The  more  common  words  ending  in  -pid  are  written  with  half- 
length  p  :    thus,  l^  tepid,   ^— ^  insipid  ;    but 

(7)  Words  ending  in  -pade,  -ped,  -pede  or  -pod  are  generally  written 
with   full   d ;   thus,   i_^^^    escapade,      \  centipede,      l^    tripod. 

(8)  Words  ending  in  k  (vowel)  d  are  generally  written  with  full  d; 
thus,      V-j   arcade,      '      \  naked,    L —   decoyed ;    but   half-length   k   is 

used  in  a  few  words  of  more  than  two  syllables,  e.g.,  \/      barricade, 
V   cavalcade,  and  in  the  word  /''^  rescued. 

(9)  Words  ending  in  ^  (vowel)  /,  however,  are  generally  written 
with  half-length  g ;    thus,        V   Mg<ite,     L   target,    ^^r  nugget    (but 

'  I  iMg'Of,  for  distinction). 

(10)  Stroke  <  or  i  is  retained  when  convenient  in  the  following 
classes  of  derivatives,  viz. — 

(a)  Words  derived,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  from  primitive  words 
with  outlines  containing  stroke  t  or  d  and  not  more  than  one  other 
stroke    consonant ;      e.g.,     ^    pitiful,       >       becloud,     S:^:}.  overrate. 


;      e.g.,      J    pitiful,       > 


The     following     are     exceptional —     V      beautify,        \n     beautiful, 
/^"^  written,     ^^-^   writing. 

(6)  Certain  secondary  derivatives  from  primary  derivatives  wTitten 
with  stroke  t  or  d,  in  which  the  stroke  is  retained  for  the  purpose  of 


INTRODUCTION 


distinction  ;    e.g.,     <^Vj>  weightiness,        \js  greediness,        )  >;  heartily, 
nv  Y 

^       flightiness. 

(c)  In  words  ending  in  -tieth,  in  order  to  prevent  the  possibility  of 
confusion  between  ^^^^  seventieth  and  ^^-^-i  seventh,  ^v  fiftieth 
and    ^x_^  fifth,  etc,         /  / 

(11)  In  COMPOUNDS  of  words  with  outlines  ending  in  stroke  <  or  d 
that  t  ot  d  is  generally  expressed  by  halving  ;    thus,  X^j"  copyright, 

^ — sjr  backbite,  K  ice-boat,  ~^^  cow-hide,  ~Tf-  go-ahead,  NX^  brush- 
wood. Stroke  t  or  d  is,  however,  retained  after  one  half-length  stroke, 
as  in  ^  tit-bit,  \  catboat,  and  also  in  a  few  other  cases  in  which 
the  full  t  or  d  gives  a  more  distinct  outline,  e.g.,  /^  A  rosewood, 
r\   jolly-boat. 

(12)  In  COMPOUNDS  of  words  commencing  with  t  or  d,  that  t  or  d 
is  not   expressed    by   halving ;     thus,    U-,      time-table,        ^       grave- 


digger,  '  ^1  quarter-deck.  Exceptions —  cr-i^  sometimes  and 
N>^  beforetime. 

(13)  Final    //   is   written    downward   after    v_i>  ;     thus,     ^^  insult, 
*    ^  cancellate,     <o^    Hunslet. 

(14)  With  regard  to  final  rd.  the  forms  ^^veered,    \      persevered, 

etc.,  are  adopted  because,  although  not  strictly  in  accordance  with 
the  rule,  they  are  quite  distinct  and  more  convenient  than  the 
possible  alternatives  v/'.  ^.,  etc.  On  the  other  hand,  in  such 
words  as  geared,  __^  is  a  better  form  than  ^,  wliidi  latter  would 
become  indistinct  in  practice. 

(15)  The  upward  r  is  only  used  finally  for  Id  in  words  ending  in 
■led  Sitter      \      \    )  or  T.  e.g.,  ^— y-  furled,    "^    frilled,    j-"   thrilled, 

\r  belittled,  and  in  the  word  r-^  scheduled;  it  is  also  used  medially  in 
<->^  mildly  and  -^-^^^^  mildness.  In  other  cases  the  separate  /  I 
is  written  if  r  is  not  convenient ;  thus,  f\  assailed,  ^  I  muzzled, 
tf^   •  household. 


INTRODUCTION  XXix 

Doubling  Principle. 

(1)  The  doubling  principle  is  not  applied  in  words  ending  in-  lateral 
and   -literal,    double-length  /  being   used   only  in   words  in  which  it 

occurs  finally  and  in  words  derived  from    these  ;     thus,     C    r     laten 
(compare     C  latterly),      \/'    '         pluriliteral,      X    t      poulterer 

(compare  ^        slaughterer),     ri.   liturgy  (compare    (^     '  lighterage). 

(2)  When  the  vowel  in  the  termination  tor  is  sounded  distinctly, 
as  in  the  legal  terms  '^  grantor,  VjjT  vendor,  r— "^^^  guarantor, 
the  doubling  principle  is  not  applied. 

(3)  The  doubling  principle  is  applied  in  a  few  cases  although  there 
is  a  strongly-sounded  vowel  between  t  and  r  :  e.g.,  ^ — <  material, 
Vi^' — '■  enteric,    \t__;_^ — ;  dysenteric,     L^^^        tartaric. 

(4)  The  doubling  principle  is  also  applied  in  the  following  cases, 
notwithstanding  that  there  is  no  vowel  between  the  t  or  d  and  the  r — 


(a)  Several  words  containing  central,  centri-  or  -centric,  e.g.,  7  central, 
■(j_^_^ — =  concentric,    -^-"^^-i-x^ — '■  eccentric,  \-  r>  centrifugal. 

(b)  i       theatrical,     6  cylindric. 

(5)  Words  ending  in  -erate  or  -orate,  although  derived  from  words 
written  with  a  double-length  stroke,  are  written  by  means  of  the  halving 
principle  (i.e.,  in  the  same  way  as  past  tenses  such  as  "^  centred)  ; 
thus,     i—^.   directorate,      y^''  stadtholderate. 

(6)  The  doubling  principle  is  not  applied  when  tr  is  preceded  by  a 
diphthong  and  a  long  vowel ;  thus,  t_/i  extenuator,  n— i  punctuator. 
Compare       x^    proprietor,     ^\    radiator.  '\ 

(7)  Joining  of  Strokes  of  Unequal  Length.  Paragraph  14(5  of  the 
Instructor  applies  to  double-length  as  well  as  hail-length  strokes. 
Double-length  n,  however,  is  sufficiently  distinct  after  t  or  downward  /  / 
thus,     L        detonator,    C. >  alienator. 

(8)  Double-length  I  is  written  upward",  except  after  ng,  ns  or  sk  ; 
thus,  Vy  filter,  \i\  beholder,  __/  gilder,  but  '/^  ringleader. 
Y     insulter,    "F'  scolder,    {  f      helter-skelter. 


XXX  INTRODUCTION 

(9)   Double-length  strokes  may  be  used  in  such  compound  words 


as  the  following —  ^~v    backbiter,      L — ^ —  chaff-cutter,     ^       muzzle- 
loader.  \ 

Vocalization  of  Double  Consonants. 

(1)  Medial  r  preceded  by  a  strongly-sounded  vowel  is  generally 
represented  by  separate  r  unless  a  hooked  form  is  necessary  in  order 

to  avoid  an  awkward  or  a  too  lengthy  outline ;  thus  /-''^      ulterior, 
^  internal,   '^\/f     fraternal. 

(2)  Words  ending  in  -torial  are  generally  written  with  separate  r, 
but  the  hooked  form  is  used  in  a  few  cases  to  avoid  an  awkward  or 
a    very     lengthy     outUne ;      thus,       I   y-    tutorial,         [^     equatorial, 

q—\,y    piscatorial,    but     /^\/y'     reportorial,       \_n  <.     spectatorial , 


•v 


dictatorial. 


(3)  Words  ending  in  -tarium,  -torium,  etc.,  are  generally  written  with 
the    hooked    tr;    thus,     '  l^-,^    cometarium,    <r^'t-~i    moratorium, 

y      auditorium. 

(4)  Words  ending  in  -chord  are  written  with  half-length  kr  ;    thus, 
Ij.     tetrachord,  o-^-^  monochord. 

(5)  Words  ending  in  -jorm  are  written  with  the  hooked  form,  ^ 
or       \ ,  after  |   I    /  v   /   ^    ^~^  ^~^  or  /      ;  thus,  A.     i         stalacti- 

form,         v^        spongiform,       J  aciform,  \t>v  curvi/orm, 

V— ^s.  vermiform.       In    other    cases   separate    r   is    used ;     thus, 

napiform,  ^p-n.        cuneiform,      yr^^^^       metalliform, 

variform. 

(6)  The  following  words  ending  in  -culate  or  -gulate  are  wiitten  with 
half-length  hi  ox   gl,    f— c_n   calculate,     t^-"  speculate,    </'    gesticulate, 

/ J^„   reticulate,     •/'^   articulate,      c/^  circulate,     ^-^/^  matriculate, 
.;y-<^n  coagulate,     /^     regulate. 


INTRODUCTION  XXXi 

(7)  The  prefix  for-  is  represented  by  V.  or,  when  this  is  inconvenient, 
by  ^ ;  thus,  Vo.!.  forsake,  "X?  /  forbear,  but  ^-r-i  forget.  This  does 
not  apply  to  the  prefix  fore-,  which  should  be  written  with  separate 
r  (downward  in  preference)  when  convenient ;    thus    ^-~^       forecast, 

\/    '  forenoon,  ^-^  foresight    (compare  V^  ferocity)  ;  otherwise  the 


hooked  form  is  used  ;  thus,  V^  foretell,   <Jf  foreshorten,  ^*~z^  forewarn. 

J' 
(8)  Compound  words  endinp  in  -bird  and  -board  are  written  with 

the    half-length    br    whenever     convenient  ;       thus,        r  jailbird, 

mocking-bird,    \ — fx  blackboard,    vC  switchboard.     But  note 

keyboard,  and  \j      pasteboard. 


Abbreviated  W  and  Joined  WAW. 

The  abbreviated  form  of  the  consonant  w  is  conveniently  retained 
in  a  few  compounds  of  "  woman,"  e.g.,  4,^  needlewoman,  ^Z}  char- 
woman :  but  J'  as  a  joined  diphthong  is  not  retained  medially  as 
part  of  an  outline  ;  hence  /^^  rainwater, 'V  soda-water,   jL  churchwarden. 

Suffixes. 

(1)  With  reference  to  -ing,  the  stroke  is  quite  convenient  after 
(/  or  J  ;  thus,  v^  chaining,  -l^  enjoining.  Stroke  ng  is  also  used 
after  I  ,  although  it  does  not  give  a  very  convenient  joining,  as  the 
dot  might  be  mistaken  for  a    vowel-sign ;      thus,     oXi        utilizing, 

/^  releasing. 

(2)  When  adding  -ing,  the  outline  of  the  original  word  is  almost 
invariably    left    unaltered ;       thus,     Vv         fancying,        d^    freezing, 

'^-r-o.  cleansing,   V   failing,     V.       piercing,  ^-         shelling,   ^\  rating. 

Exceptions    to    this    are     O    losing,     O-   lacing,   etc.,     (_^   ailing, 
^  coalescing,     S-  convalescing,  and  /">->■  writing. 

(3)  When  the  outline  of  the  present  tense  ends  with  a  joined  diph- 
thong, the  latter  is  not  retained  if  stroke  ^^  can  be  joined ;  thus, 
/  renewing,    \/\j^  pursuing,    \^  bowing. 


XXXii  INTRODUCTION 

(4)  -ality,  -ility,  -arity,  etc.,  are  expressed  by  means  of  a  disjoined 
stroke  in  the  great  majority  of  cases,  including  practically  all  of  the 
large  number  of  words  ending  in  -bility.  The  words  which  are  written 
in  full  include — 

{a)  Words  ending  in  -ally,  -iality,  or  -iorily,  if  the  full  outline  is 

quite  convenient ;  thus,    \_^  penalty,      fi.  cordiality,  \y^l  partiality, 

\iz,  veniality,         ^-^    j5|  inferiority. 

(b)  Words  in  which  the  full  outline  is  particularly  facile,  especially 
after  a  half-length  stroke;  e.g.,  "^ [  fertility,  'yl,  austerity, 
<~^.\.   maturity,      S:— ;  verticality,      c^  personality. 

(c)  Words  in  which  the  -ality,  etc.,  is  preceded  by  only  one  stroke 
or  by  s  or  shun  ;  thus,  ^:'^'^ "  hilarity,  ^*  J.  facility,  s^'iJ.l  nationality. 

{d}  In  a  few  cases  for  the  purpose  of  distinction  ;  e.g.,  </\  juniority 

(^/^    geniality),       (^°  j.    locality       (' —     legality),        ^ /l   disparity 
( b\   disability) . 

(e)      \o    compatibility,  V  .1.    accessibility     and     a     lew     other 

miscellaneous  words. 

(5)  -ment  is  represented  by  ■^  after  -,-^  -^  Vo  or  ^~_p,  or  a  hook 
to  which  the  full  form  .tt.  cannot  conveniently  be  jonied ;  thus, 
•ci_^-^  consignment,  ^»  preferment,  ^<.c^  effacement,  v^o^  commence- 
ment, ^^  enchantment,  X>-  pavement.  When  ^^  can  be  made 
convenient,  it  is  often  written  in  preference  to  the  contracted  form  ; 
thus,    y^^"   discernment,    /Vn   rescindment,  |^  amendment. 

(6)  The  sufl&x  .^  may  be  joined  when  occurring  after  full-length 
^-^  r,  - —  n  or  s-^  ng,  also,  when  convenient,  after  a  hook  (the  preced- 
ing part  of  the  outline  remaining  unaltered)  ;    thus.  <iiJ>v   censorship, 

\^  companionship,       ^  friendship,     X^   relationship.        -Ship    is 
written  in  full  after    I      /,  as  in  V/V  fellowship;   also  in       j  heirship. 

(7)  Disjoined  ^  may  be  used  in  compound  and  other  words  in 
which  -ship  is  not  grammatically  a  suffix ;  thus,  j>  battleship, 
'^As  midshipman,     ^  lightship. 


INTRODUCTION  XXXiil 

(8)  -fulness   is   represented    by    the    disjoined   suffix   v^   except  in 
j-v      delightfulness,    a^       doubtfulness  and    \n       beautifulness. 
^-v^  ^-v^  ^-^^ 

Grammalogues. 

(1)  Derivatives  and  compounds  from  grammalogues  are  written 
by  retaining  the  logograrri   (unvocalized)  in  the  outline  whenever  a 

convenient   and    legible    form   is    so    obtained  ;     thus     c_^^^  golden, 

St....    thankless,        L      deliverer,         U .    advantageous,        4        would-be, 
^        twofold.  ' 

\ 

(2)  In  DERIVATIVES  and  compounds  of  "  eye      the  logogram  is 

not  abbreviated  ;    hence    \if    eyelet,    y/  J  eyelid. 

Contractions. 

Derivatives  and  compounds  from  contracted  words  are  written 
by  retaining  the  original  contraction  in  the  outline  whenever  a  con- 
venient and  legible  form  is  so  obtained ;  thus,  J^  disorganize, 
B— <    distinguishable,  A thank-off mng. 

Derivative  Words. 

The  derivation  of  words  must  be  regarded  as  one  of  a  number  of 
considerations  affecting  the  choice  of  outlines,  but  wliile  in  the  outlines 
of  many  derivatives  the  outline  of  the  primitive  word,  or  some  par- 
ticular feature  of  it,  is  retained,  there  are,  on  the  other  hand,  many 
cases  in  which  derivatives  are  written  in  accordance  with  the  ordinary 
rules  and  principles  of  the  system,  without  regard  to  derivation  ;   e.g., 

V--,      remove,      ^""^   remover  ;    \|  bitter,        \  embitter  ;     l hawk, 

<j^      hawker ;    f    ail,    fC^    ailment ;   ^  royal,    ^      royalist. 

Words  described  as  "  derivatives  "  are  taken  to  include  any  words 
that  are  apparently  derived  from  other  English  words. 

In  the  above  notes,  attention  is  dra^vn  by  means  of  capitals  to  the 
treatment  of  certain  classes  of  derivative  and  compound  words. 


Derivatives  Anticipated. 

In    certain    cases,    including    some    verbs    previously    mentioned, 
words  are  written  in  a  particular  way  so  that  tlieir  outlines  may  agree 

with   those   of    derivatives   formed    from   them,   e.g.,   <^  wanton, 

*\      /       waiuoniy ;  '      Jj— '     clandestine,  ^^j^     clandestinely; 


XXXIV  INTRODUCTION 

:    \        captive,    '"A     captivate ;     "|     exist,    ~J    existence :       j  sister, 
1      sisterly ;    ^        scientific,     Cy        scientifically. 

Compound  Words. 

A  number  of  classes  of  compound  words  have  already  been  dealt 
with  in  connection  with  the  various  principles  involved.     With  regard 
to  cases  in  which  the  outlines  of  the  primary  words  will  not  join  con 
veniently,  they  are  written  disjoined  if  a  better  outline  is  not  obtainable 
by  altering  one  or  both  of  them  so  as  to  admit  of  joining. 

Disjoining. 

(1)  Disjoining  is  not  resorted  to  if  a  better  outline  can  other- 
wise   be    obtained ;     thus,    I — .       tactics,      ("      I    locate,     \^    densely, 

y^  /  rearrange,  but   i*;^  steadfast,  ^^-^^ySk  mentionable,  (j^  deaf-mute, 
\)    spendthrift. 

(2)  Three  straight  strokes  that  would  not  make  an  angle  are  not 
joined   together  :  hence  \ --r         picture-gallery. 

(3)  Outlines  in  which  one  at  least  of  three  strokes  is  a  curve  are 
generally  allowable  although  there  is  no  angle ;  thus,  X.  papacy, 
'  3N_  clockwork  ;  but  the  combination  /  \  is  avoided.  I 

(4)  Sometimes  an  angle  is  shown  in  order  to  make  a  joining  allowable ; 
thus,      y    escheat,     ^k  Hebraized. 

(5)  More  than  two  successive  downstrokes  are  avoided  in  such 
words   as     L       top-boots,    /IC  red-tapism,    ^     \|      quarter-deck. 

Compare         \  copy-book,  .L     seed-time,     U^^  tea-dealer,  in  which 

there  are  only  two  downstrokes. 

Outlines  and  Vowels. 

Outlines,  as  a  rule,  are  not  varied  in  order  to  permit  of  a  vowel- 
sign  being  placed  exactly  in  its  proper  place  ;  thus,  fa^  legislation, 
/^  ceaseless,      l  J  ingeniously,     \s>j^  appropriately,  ^^_/-    meanwhile. 


In  a  few   cases,    however,  in   which   an   outline   that   can    be   more 
accurately  vocalized  is  a  better  one  from  a  practical  point  of  view,  it 

is  adopted,  e.g.,      Ja  doubtless,  -^x  unsoiled. 


INTRODUCTION 


Special  Outlines. 


It  will  be  recognised  that  there  are  many  pairs  or  groups  of  words 
which,  from  their  meaning,  are  liable  to  clash,  and  every  precaution 
is  necessary  in  such  Ccises  to  avoid  the  risk  of  confusion.  In  a  great 
majority  of  cases  the  application  of  the  ordinary  rules  of  the  system 
affords  adequate  means  of  distinction,  but  in  a  comparatively  few  of 

these  pairs  of  words,  such  as  V^  favoured,  ^-=>.  favourite  ;  1  Austra- 
lian,    vly-^    Australasian,    which    otherwise    would    be    written    with 

the  same  or  a  very  similar  form,  a  special  outline  is  adopted  for  one  of 
them  in  order  to  provide  a  clear  distinction.     Again,  in  a  few  instances, 

such  as  ^  affidavit,       "y  oxyhydrogen,  L-^       tartaric,  'ijyf  sincerely, 

it  has  been  found  advisable,  in  order  to  secure  the  most  con- 
venient outline,  to  adopt  a  form  which  is  not  capable  of  being  fully 
vocalized,  or  which  is  not  written  in  accordance  with  the  usual  practice. 
A  list  of  these  special  outlines,  in  addition  to  those  contained  in  the 
list  of  Distinguishing  Outlines  in  the  Instructor,  is  given  below.  It 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  such  outUnes,  except  in  the  case  of  some 
derivatives  from  the  words  in  question,  must  not  necessarily  be 
regarded  as  models  for  the  formation  of  other  outlines.

Proper  Names. 

In  connection  with  these  the  pronunciation  has  -been  checked  from 
the  Century  Cyclopedia  of  Proper  Names,  the  Standard  Dictionary 
and  other  sources  ;  and  a  number  of  peculiarly  pronounced  and  other 
names  have  been  added.  It  should  be  remembered  that  proper 
names  have  frequently  more  than  one  accepted  pronunciation.  In 
some  instances  there  is  a  local  and  also  an  "  outside  "  pronunciation, 
and  in  the  case  of  foreign  names  some  have  an  anglicized  pronunciation 
while  others  are  given  a  native  pronunciation  only.  From  the  short- 
hand point  of  view  some  proper  names  require  special  consideration, 
and  the  following  observations  will  serve  to  indicate  the  practice 
which  has  been  adopted  in  various  groups  of  words — 

(1)  When  the  nses  circle  is  used,  the  vowel  is  understood  to  be  S  : 
it  is  therefore  necessary  to  write  stroke  n  and  the  ses  circle  when 
another  vowel  occurs,  as  in      '    /      Albigenses,    ^C  \i^   Waldenses. 

(2)  Proper  names  ending  in  -ley  preceded  by  the  sound  of  k  are 
generally  written  with  the  hooked  letter ;  thus,  \  Brockley, 
^  Hinckley. 

(3)  Words  ending  in  -shire  are  generally  written  with  the  hooked 
letter  shr  (downward  or  upward  as  in  other  words)  ;   thus,      \  Ayrshire, 

N/LjSi/    Aberdeenshire. 

(4)  Words  ending  in  -ford  are  generally  written  with  the  haJf-Iength 
hooked  letter  ( <l  or  ^  )  ;  thus,  ^"^  Catford,  '~^  Oxford.  The 
separate  v,^  however  is  used  after  ^-^  ^.i^  etc.,  as  in    ^"V^  Swinford, 

K.     Cinderford. 

(5)  The  hooked  letter  ^  is  used  for  the  terminations  -boro,  -burgh, 
-bury,  when  it  is  more  convenient  than  the  separate  b-r,  including 
cases  in  which  it  occurs  after  t,  d,  m,  ms,  I,  Is  :  thus,    L/   Attleborough, 

v->c>^       Flamborough,  ^""W.       Bloomsbury,  r   ^       Tilbury, 

'/^-     Halsbury. 

(6)  Proper  names  ending  in  -ton  or  -don  are  treated  in  the  same 
way  as  other  words  having  those   terminations  (see  page  xxi) ;   thus, 

^T~v/vi/  Merton,    \^Ts.y^--^  Pemberton,        ^^    Clifton,       p  Bandon. 

J-  J- 


XXXVIU  INTRODUCTION 

(7)  Words  ending  in  -field  are  generally  written  with   ^ ,  but  after 
I     ox    I    hook    /   is    used ;     thus,     \~      Duffield,    but    'J.    Lichfield, 

L    Sedgfield. 

(8)  In  the  majority  of  words  ending  in  -ham  the  h  issilent,  e.g., 
^^-— ^  Clapham,  )^-^  Seaham,  J  ^_^  Ashburnham,  Totten- 
ham, \h^  Rotherham.  Doubtful  cases  include  names  of  more 
than  two  syllables  ending  in  -ingkam,  such  as  Birmingham,  Nottingham, 
but  in  these  cases  the  aspirate  is  inserted.  There  are  also  a  number 
of  names  ending  in  -sham  or  -tham  in  which  custom  has  sanctioned 
the  sound  of  sh  and  th  respectively,  e.g.,  \  Horsham,  v_^.  Evesham, 
n6  C-— .  Waltham,  ^-y-       Bentham,  though  in  others  the  s  or  /  sound  is 

retained,  e.g.,     I  Topsham,     f      Cheetham,        .i-^  Greatham. 


(9)  The  h  in  the  termination  -hurst  is  generally  represented  by  the 
dot ;  thus,  (^"yw  Lyndhurst,  y,/^-^^"'^  Billingshurst.  In  a  few  instances, 
however,  it  is  disregarded  in  order  to  obtain  a  more  convenient  outline, 

e.g.,     \».?^  Pankhurst,     \/'       Parkhursf 

(10)  After  k  the  terminations   -wall,   -well,  are  most  conveniently 

written  with   of';  thus   c z^  Kirkwall.     > — ^^  Bakewell.     After 

upward  I,  however,  (^    is  sufficiently  convenient ;    as    y^     Holywell. 

(11)  When  the  vowel  in  the  termination  -ville  is  sounded  distinctly, 
the    separate   /    is     written    if     convenient ;     thus,  V    Sackville, 

^<.  Granville,  but    rv^   Nashville. 

(1 2)  The      termination      -gate     is     written     with     full     t :       thus, 
v^.  Vr-i    Bishopsgate,    i__i_,  Deansgate,        ^^  Cripplegate. 

(13)  -wood,  however,  is  generally  written  with  half-length  w  :  thus, 
J/^    Attwood,    — ..je^v   Kingswood.      Exception,     ^'    A     Hey  wood,    to 

distinguish  from     <i<^     Hayward. 


(14)  Words  having  the  termination  -worth  are  written  with  c^  ^'^ 
thus,  }y^\  Saddleworth,  \\\  Nailsworth  :  or  when  necessary 
to  avoid  an  awkward  or  too  lengthy  outline,  with  '^  vocalized 
with  wu  :    thus,     c;:^^^''^^   Wandsworth,     ^VA    Wordsworth. 


INTRODUCTION  XXxiX 

(15)  In  words  ending  in  -ing,  the  dot  is  used  after  \  or  c^^  or 
after  r  following  another  stroke  ;  thus,  \  Epping,  <<\.  Wapping, 
\  Spalding,  W>'  Twining.  In  other  cases  stroke  ^  is  written  ; 
thus,  Tooting,  \^^  Kettering,  /^ij>  Hutchings,  \^  Harding, 
•^j)   Jennings,      >/         Behring. 

(16)  In  proper  names  p  is  not  omitted  when  it  occurs  between  m 
and     t     or     m     ajid     sh  :     e.g.,     ^     Hampstead    (  ^^    Hamstead), 

Y     Ampthill,     '       J    Compton,  /-^  Assumption,     y  Hampshire. 


(17)  Proper  names  having  their  origin  in  words  which  are  gramma- 
logues  are  generally  written  in  accordance  with  the  original  outlines, 
but  the  logogram  may  be  vocalized  ;  thus  P  Child,  2^  Short, 
^\  Wordsworth,  1  Seaforth,  i— a*  Seaman  (compare  ^  Seymour), 
A.       Highbury.             ( 

(18)  In  several  place  names  such  as  ^~  Kingston-on-Thames, 
>L  Strat ford-on- Avon,  ^^  ^  Bur ton-on- Trent,  J"*  Clacton-on- 
Sea,  aQ.   Southend-on-Sea  the  preposition  may  be  omitted. 

(19)  The  following  are  so  written  in  order  to  obtain  an  easy  or  dis- 
tinct   outline —    of\  Sural,      r^   Shetland,      \.    Thetford,  Dudley, 

/    Jedburgh,  ^  Ushant,  {^j^  London,  - — -^J  Carruthers,    V  Sutherland, 
>»   <^       Young.

(a)  All  grammalogues  and  contractions  are  printed  in  italic;  also 
any  portions  of  derivative  or  compound  words  for  which  logograms  or 
contractions  are  retained. 

(6)  Only  logograms  and  contractions  (and  their  derivatives  when 
the  primitive  forms  are  retained)  occupying  a  first  or  a  third  position 
have  their  positions  shown  by  a  dotted  line. 

(c)  Capitals  are  employed  initially  only  where  such  is  the  ordinary

zoological,  and  similar  scientific  terms,  the  names  of  genera  are 
capitahzed;  with  species  bearing  the  same  name  a  capital  would  not, 
of  course,  be  used.  For  example.  Ranunculus,  the  genus;  but 
ranunculus,  a  plant  of  this  genus.
